GENERAL
Vulcan ranges and ovens are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance of your range will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
The manufacturer suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the
instructions provided.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
This range was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full
responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Immediately after unpacking, check
for possible shipping damage. If the range is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and
contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Carefully unpack range(s) and place in the approximate installation position, whether as a battery or
single stand-alone range.
Remove parts (packed in a cardboard box) from oven cavity, or cabinet body, or on top of modular
range(s).
Remove wire or nut from rear of each burner before installing the range.
Before installing, check the electrical service (Convection Oven Models only) and type of gas supply
(natural or propane) to make sure they agree with the specifications on the rating plate located on the
inside of the burner box lower panel. The rating plate will show the voltage, phase, cycle, full load
ampere, BTU, as well as the type of gas. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do
not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart Company immediately.
